And yeah, I guess Tav hasn't been especially secretive. Strange and I theorized that it was ... mind over matter sounds like shit when you boil it down that far. But given his nature as a rifter and the condition's origin in his home reality, we thought he might be able to sever the connection to that particular aspect in the Fade. We weren't in there with him, so I can't confirm it was that exactly, but it ties a little into what you're talking about, I think. Things about us rifters that are true, but kind of true in a different way than they would be for a Thedas native.
As a rifter, I don't know how much I want to encourage people outside the organization to think of our nature as fundamentally mutable. I think that's an oversimplification regardless. But I do think magebane isn't wild, as a hypothesis. I'm not sure if any of us have ever been Silenced either, though I couldn't sweat to it one way or another. I haven't personally, and I can't imagine a lot of volunteers for that one, under the circumstances. But I think it might pay to be flexible, in how we think about rifters and illness.
If you try it, I'd be interested to know what you learn.
It's my job. And hey, any question that's not an emergency in disguise [well, it sounds like it a little bit is, but not an urgent one at least] could be worse.

Even sparing detail, it's a marked achievement. If his condition represented something akin to a curse, as translated, perhaps –
[ viktor's condition remains the most visible in riftwatch, and it's difficult to trip about his particular expertise. ]
– Well, there's more than the mind to direct it. Runes shape lyrium. Hold a spell, beyond the limitation of mortal belief.
